			mention of a pious person is
silent person, the Mercy of Allah
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30

Masjid has been running a series
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:36
			on Sierra on the noble personality
of Muhammad Rasul allah sallallahu
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

extent of the dissension of
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			Allah's mercy when mentioned is
made of Muhammad Rasool allah
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Then
imagine the extent of the
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			dissension of Allah's Mercy mercy,
when Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			mentioned on a Friday at the time
of Joomla in the house of Allah.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			Discussing Sierra is noble,
discussing Sienna on a Friday at
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:17
			the time of Juma in the house of
Allah. Only Allah knows how noble
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			that is, you and I we are
fortunate to be part of such
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			discussions in such a place at
such a time and we are fortunate,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			we will be more fortunate if we
can take the lesson. And if we can
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			imbibe that great legacy of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			wasallam into our lives, Let us
recite Durood let us send Salawat
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			upon Muhammad Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			Allahumma Salli ala Sayidina when
a beginner were more, one more
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:49
			time, one more learner Muhammad wa
ala alihi wa sahbihi wa barik wa
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			salim the topic that I have been
given the final topic in the city
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			in the series on serum is the
journey to Medina, the journey to
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			Medina to Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. And essentially
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			this je journey is about the Hijra
the migration of Rasulullah
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from
Mecca to mocha Rama to Medina
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			talamona whare. Now, Hijra had
taken place prior to the Hegira.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			They were to heaters that took
place to harbor SHA two
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:27
			epithelium. But the big difference
is that Hegira did not include
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam, a select group of
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Sahaba when then they came back
and another select group of Sahaba
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			went to Abyssinia and they came
back. But this migration meant
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:45
			that all of the Muslims were
instructed to migrate from muckety
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			muck carnamah to Medina to number
one. Now, it's a very important
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:54
			topic because Hijra was a
significant event in the history
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			of Islam. so significant that
Ameerul Momineen Ahmed Abdul
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			Khattab Radi Allahu Han, when
during his Khilafah, the question
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			arose that we need an Islamic
calendar. We need an Islamic
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			calendar. But where should we
start the Islamic calendar from?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			Because now the state was
developing in the time of Amara,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			the Allah Han and his government
started to tell him that, you
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			know, correspondence is going to
and fro, there's no dates, we need
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			our own calendar. And he made
misura and he consulted with the
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			Sahaba and different opinions were
given. And one opinion that was
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			given to Amara, the Hola, Juan, is
that let's start our calendar from
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			the Hijra. This epic journey of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			sallam from muckety muck Rama to
Medina, Medina Tillman. And when
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			Amara, the Allahu Han gave
preference to this view. He
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:51
			mentioned the reason he said that
this Hijra this epic journey, it
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:56
			indicates that the struggle
between heart and battle, the
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			struggle between truth and
falsehood will always
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			To be ongoing up to the day of
piano,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			it may come in different forms the
struggle between heart and bottle,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			but the fundamental
characteristics will be the same
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			no matter the Allahu and said, I
want the Islamic calendar to start
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			from the hijra, because at least
once a year, I want Muslims to
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:26
			remember that Hijra gives us many
lessons that will enable us to
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:31
			continue the struggle for Huck and
to continue the struggle against
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			about it. So hence, it's a very
important topic in the Greater
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			Life Story of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			we know our own model. We know our
model, Abdullah Abdullah bin
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			Masuda the Allahu and says that
Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			said, every Nebby had a mohawk
death every Nebby had one person
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:55
			in his OMA, who was inspired by
Allah, that when he took
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			decisions, you could see that this
was not the decision of an
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			ordinary human. This decision was
inspired by Allah, and then to be
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			of Allah said, If there used to be
one such person in my ummah, it
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			would be warmer than Hatha but of
the Allah Han. And Alma took this
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			decision that the Islamic calendar
would start with the Hijra. That's
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:22
			why we say 14 139 years after
hijra, or 1439 Hijiri. Now, the
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:27
			Juma talk is obviously very brief.
It doesn't allow for us to unpack
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:32
			the entire journey of the Hijra to
go through it step by step, you
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			know, to unpack and to elaborate
and to deliberate over all of the
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			details of the journey. The time
does not allow us so I am going to
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			take a particular approach, where
I want to speak about seven
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			lessons that we can take from this
great journey of Rasulullah
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			sallallahu sallam. Remember this
journey, it started in a very
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			similar way to that of Nobunaga.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			nouveau was started with pious
dreams. Prior to the Hegelian Nabi
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
started to see dreams that he used
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:08
			to make Hijra to a place which has
an abundance of date palms, and
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			then I thought, maybe it is Yamama
maybe it is Hotjar. And then
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			eventually, he was told it's yet
three, which was the name of
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			Madina, Munawwara at the time,
adenylation say that the Prophet
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
given a choice, because people
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			have honor you give them a choice.
Do you want to eat this or that or
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			that? Do you want this one or that
one? So Allah gave Nabi SallAllahu
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			Sallam a choice between a few
cities and Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			alayhi wasallam chose Medina.
After Medina was stipulated the
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41
			instruction was given to the
Sahaba to start making hijra, and
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			they made Hegira. Individually,
they made his nine batches, but
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			over a period of time, all of them
had made Hegira to Madina
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			Munawwara now seven lessons I've
mentioned that I want to talk
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:57
			about, in light of this epic
journey of Hijra. First. And this
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			is an important lesson that we
don't often speak about. And that
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:06
			is sometimes in life, you need to
change not only the plan of
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			action, but the place of action.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Sometimes in life, you need to
change not only the plan of
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:18
			action, but the place of action.
After 13 years of trying to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			convince the Mexicans Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			realized it was time now to move
to a place which would be more
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:30
			conducive for the establishment
and the practicing of Islam. This
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			was not an easy decision. I mean,
you're living in Makkah, you
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			leaving Makkah. But at times, you
need to make very difficult
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			decisions, very painful decisions
to achieve a particular goal and
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			to achieve a particular objective.
And we know what happened after
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:52
			the Hegira to Medina, eight years
later, the Hegira to Medina, laid
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			the foundation for the conquest of
Makkah.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Whereas if the Prophet sallallaahu
Salam and the Sahaba stayed in
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			Makkah, perhaps they would not
have seen that degree of success
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			and prosperity. So a painful
decision had to be made to change
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:11
			the place of action, to change the
plan of action. So in life, you
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			cannot continue to do the same
thing over and over again, if
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			you're not achieving the desired
results. At times, you have to
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			make a very painful decision that
I need to move on. I need to move
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			differently. I need to change my
approach. I need to change the
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			place from which I'm conducting
business.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			So that's the first lesson.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:41
			The second lesson, and this is an
eternal lesson. Success always
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			comes on the back of sacrifice.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			I mean, you people love Cape Town,
don't you? I mean, even I love
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			Cape Town and I'm not born yet.
And I haven't stayed here. So you
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			have to love Cape Town.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			You can go anywhere in the world.
It will come knock up start.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			Image
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			And this is Cape Town. It's
beautiful but it's not Makkah.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			It's not the focal point. It's not
the central point of the earth.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			It's not the place where the first
Masjid was built with the Kaaba is
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			erected. Muhammad Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			born in Makkah, he stayed in
Makkah, he got married in Makkah,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			he had children in Makkah. 53
years in Makkah.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			And he had to make that sacrifice
of leaving Makkah. He looked at
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			the Kaaba with a heart that was
squeaking and aching. And he said,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			Oh, my God, what a beautiful
wonderful city you are.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			Had it not been that my people are
not allowing me to practice Islam,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			I would have never left you.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:48
			But the demands of the time, the
strategy, the plan of action,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			dictate to me that I have to leave
you as beloved as you are to me.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			You know, you and I, we go for
Amara and when we leave Maccha we
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:03
			our heart squeak, and our tears
flow, imagine 53 years 53 years,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			the sacrifice of Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam, but with
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			sacrifice comes reward and
success. Immediately Allah
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			revealed the verse in Allah the
Pharaoh the alagille, Quran, Allah
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			Raja Dukkha Illa Muhammad, don't
worry my Nebby you make the
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			sacrifice, you will come back to
Makkah is a conqueror, you will
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			become the leader of Makkah by
virtue of the sacrifice that you
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			made.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			Look at Sahaba at the time of
Hegira that they had to make
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			sacrifice. The first sacrifice was
made by Abu Abu Salah MA and OMO
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			cinema are the Allahu Anhu Imam
Abu Salah was the foster brother
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			of Rasulullah Salah listen, he was
the first now to answer the call
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			to make Hegira
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			and it's an emotional story of
Allah he's he's there with his
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52
			wife and his young son baby and
the leaving maca
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			and his in laws come you know the
in laws Kfar luck
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			I think I shared this one with you
previously. Husband and wife had a
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			fight. So then the son came and
said dad helped me with my
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			homework. He said What's it he
said? How do you say in Africans
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			the good the bad and the ugly? So
the husband said Acme throwing me
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			spoon ma
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			so Abu Salah Ma is making Hijra
with his wife and his young son,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			his in laws come and they say that
donkey work on you. You want to
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			make each other go, our daughter
will stay right here, right here.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			So they separate his wife and his
son from him.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43
			And then his family comes, you see
in laws of afar like both ways. So
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			his family comes and says to the
wife, no, no, no, no. You can go
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			back to your family with our
grandson. We taking the child by
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			us. They started off as a family
they've hardly left macam they
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:01
			have been split three ways. I will
cinema is going to Medina, omo
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			cinemas going to her family under
duress. And that child is taking
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			taken kicking and screaming from
the lap and the breast of his
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:14
			mother to his now paternal
maternal grandparents. And OMO
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			Salama says they kept us like that
for one year.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			Every day I used to go to that
spot and I used to cry over the
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			separation not only from my
husband but from my son. It was on
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			the back of that sacrifice of
Sahaba that the hijab that took
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			place when so Hebrew mirror the
Allahu Han was leaving Maccha he
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			came to Makkah as a slave then
Allah opened his way and he made
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			money the Mexicans came to him and
they said the same thing Verdun
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			cave a honey
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:48
			so Hey, you want to go to Medina
Be our guest. But the money you
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			made you made in Makkah, you leave
every cent behind.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			Not a portion. Not like SARS. They
say you can take so much out of
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			the country but so much was Libya.
Now every cent because you came as
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:07
			a slave to Makkah. you own nothing
you were owned. So you must leave
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			behind every cent without any
hesitation. So hey bruh the Allahu
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:16
			Han said take every since the
pleasure of Allah and His
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he is
of greater value to me.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:24
			Let me say to you brothers, this
Deen spread by the sacrifice of
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			Sahaba What does Allah want from
us? Allah only wants us to
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:34
			sacrifice a few desires. Allah is
not telling you that leave Makkah
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			like Nabi SallAllahu Sallam had to
leave Makkah. Allah is not saying
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			that leave your wife one place and
your son another place. Allah is
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:45
			not saying give up every cent that
you own. Allah is saying a few
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			desires of yours that are taking
you away from me that are taking
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			you away from Islam, sacrifice
those desires for Allah.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			The steam reached us by the wealth
and the blood and the life of
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			Sahaba
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			All we are expected to give is to
slay in to sacrifice a few
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:08
			desires. So that's the second, the
third. The third lesson we learn
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			from Hijra is about the importance
of precise and meticulous
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			planning. Normally we as Muslims,
we think No, when you're doing
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			anything religious, when you're
doing Allah's work, just do it and
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			Allah will take care of
everything. No, that is contrary
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:29
			to the Sunnah. If there was anyone
who was secure when it came to
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			divine assistance, if there was
anyone who was guaranteed of
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:36
			divine assistance, it was Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, yet
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			when the NABI of Allah was to
undertake this journey of heat,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			and I'm just giving it to In
short, he made earlier the Allahu
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:46
			unsleeping his bid, so they must
not know he left. He hid in the
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			cave.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			He made the son of Abu Bakr Radi
Allahu Han spy, go and mingle
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			amongst the enemies.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:01
			He took the he took the service of
a professional guide, he used a
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			route that was not normally used.
And there are many other examples.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			I'm just giving you a few. If you
look, there'll be a fella had a
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:08
			plan.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:14
			He had a strategy. He thought it
out. He didn't say No, Allah wants
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			me to make you jealous. Allah will
help me that was there that aspect
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			and that element of the work cool
is there there's no doubt
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			but Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam meticulously and
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			thoroughly he planned. And that's
why we learn from the Hadith in
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			Allah Hakata Bella Sana Allah
cliche, that whatever you do, do
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			it meticulously plan? Well.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			The How do you balance between
planning and total reliance on
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			Allah, simple. Before you start
planning, you rely on Allah, you
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			make the best of plans, but you
don't rely on your plan, you rely
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			on Allah. And if your plan
succeeds, you don't attribute it
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			to yourself, you attribute it to
Allah, but plan you must. And when
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			you plan, and then things still go
wrong because of circumstances
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			that are beyond your control, then
Allah assistance will come, then
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			they'll be of Allah meticulously
planned. But then the Metcons
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			reached the mouth of the cave.
Then Allah put his system into
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:17
			place, the baby in his arm, the
system of the unseen and we know
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			the whip that was spun and the
eggs that will aid and they
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			thought no one could have passed.
Yeah.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			That's when he said to Abu Bakr
the law that we have done the best
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			which was which was within our
ability we have planned to the
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:34
			best of our ability now, la Taksin
in the la hermana. Don't worry,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:39
			Allah is with us. They took that
unknown route. They had the
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:43
			guidance of a professional guide,
but then Soraka, who later became
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:47
			another hola Juan, he was after
the bounty and he managed to find
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			them. And when he was approaching
Abubaker, the Allah one got
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			scared. And again, the number of
Allah said la doesn't in Allah
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			hermana Don't worry, we have
planned to the best of our
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			ability. Now we leave it to Allah
Now we leave it to Allah. And as
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			Serato was coming, he started to
sink into the ground. And he said,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			Oh, it looks like you are you are
making dua against me make dua for
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			me. So then I'm gonna make dua for
him. And then he came up, and then
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			again, you know that greed for
wealth. So he decided, let me go
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			again. Let me see if I can capture
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, I'll
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			be the richest man in Makkah, and
again he started to sink into the
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			earth. And again he says to the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam Okay,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			make dua for me, and the Prophet
salallahu Salam makes dua for him.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			And then the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam shows us what a visionary
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:35
			he was. He said, Oh Soraka today,
you chasing me on the backroads of
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			Mecca to Medina, a time will come
when my people will conquer the
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44
			Empire of the Persians and the
Romans. And when that time came
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			Amara, the Allahu and told him
Serrata Do you remember? He said,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:53
			Oh, I mean, and how can I forget?
On the back of that sacrifice of
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			hijra, there was a time to come
when the Roman in the Persian
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			empires were conquered by the
companions of Rasulullah
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So
that's the third lesson that we
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			learn from Hijra meticulous
planning. The fourth lesson, when
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			the newbie of Allah reaches
outside of Medina, he stops at
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:17
			Baba, he builds a mustard. Then he
travels a short distance it comes
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			to the locality of Solomon oath he
builds a masjid when he comes to
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:25
			Medina. Before he builds his own
house, he builds a masjid. What is
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			the teachers, the prosperity of
Muslims individually and
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			collectively will be linked to
Salah and the message? Because a
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			man is made out of the outer and
the inner, we take care of our
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:42
			physical bodies. The first and
fundamental requirement of our
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			physical bodies is to have
shelter. Well the home of your
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			soul, which is the other half of
your existence, and the more
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:53
			important half of your existence,
because the soul came first and
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			the soul will continue to the
journey into the era. The home of
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			the soul, is the masjid and the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			food of the soul the nourishment
of the soul is Salah.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			So you can be physically strong
but you can be spiritually weak.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			If you don't have that connection
with Allah and the mercy of Allah
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			comes from the harsh to the Kaaba
and from the Kaaba to every
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:20
			Masjid. So the role of every
Muslim needs to be attached to the
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			local Masjid because that's the
spiritual power station that needs
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:28
			to cater for the spiritual needs
of every home and every individual
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			in that locality.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			That's why we're ever gonna be
Salah listen and stop in Makkah he
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			was confused restricted. As soon
as now he was not even in Medina,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			but the outskirts of Medina
establish a masjid establish a
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			masjid establish a mystery. That's
the Allahu Han when he wrote that
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48
			letter. When he wrote that letter
to his governors, he said in Hama
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:52
			Americo. Mind the Salah from
unhappier how half of Allah you
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			have occurred Hatfield Medina, the
most important thing is your
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:58
			Salah. If you protect your Salah
your entire deen is protected. If
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			your Salah is not protected, your
entire deen is vulnerable. Of
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			course, there'll be social
problems, political problems,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			economic problems, and you will
have social political and economic
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			solutions. But none of your
solutions will be effective until
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			you don't have the spirituality to
back it.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			You can be the most intelligent,
most experienced, most talented
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			person, but your success will
depend on the spirituality that
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			will fuel all of your projects,
all of your initiatives, all of
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:29
			your plans and actions. And that
spirituality the connection to the
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:33
			source of spirituality which is
Allah is via the salah via Masjid.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			So Hijra teaches us the importance
of the masjid and the importance
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			of Salaam. The fifth
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:44
			Hegira taught us the true nature
of brotherhood. I can't go into
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			the details because of the brevity
of time. But we know when the when
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:52
			the MaHA jurien came to Medina,
the unsolved took them in the
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:56
			unsolved we're willing to share
everything with them. So in the
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:02
			answer, you see generosity, but
then in the Mahajan, you see sugar
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			and for your help, I'll take it
for now. But teach me how to
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			become independent in Medina. And
that is what Brotherhood is all
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			about. You must be willing to
help. But you must only take help
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:19
			as a short term relief long term
you must see how you can create
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			independence for yourself.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:26
			So when Muslims I need a system,
but don't give them a fish all the
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			time, teach them how to fish and
those who are on the receiving
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			end. Don't continue to take until
you know nothing but how to take
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			no no no. Continue to take in the
short term. And in the long term.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			See how you can make yourself
independent. So that's the fifth
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:40
			thing.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:47
			The sixth lesson that we learn
when it comes to the Hijra in this
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			epic journey of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam is
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:56
			about how to be a good citizen and
how to be a patriot. When Nabi
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came
to Medina it was a dirty city. It
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			was a polluted city. They clean
the city they dug the wells they
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			cultivated the lands. Nabi
SallAllahu Sallam himself made dua
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			to Allah, that Allah Allah remove
the sickness from Medina Quran
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:14
			baraka to Medina, Quran baraka to
Medina, it shows that you can be a
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			Muslim, you can have international
solidarity with Muslims around the
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			world, you can love the Muslim
holy lands. But that does not mean
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			you must not be a patriotic
citizen in your own country and in
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			your own city. Be an active
citizen, be a patriotic citizen,
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			in your own country and in your
own city. This is another lesson
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			that the heater of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:38
			teaches us. So those are the
sixth, and I'll move on to the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:38
			seventh.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			I had mentioned that the Hegira is
about
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:52
			the eternal struggle between top
and bottom. And in every struggle,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			you need a hero.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:59
			In every struggle, you need a
hero. And the hero of the Hijra
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			was none other than Abu Bakr said
they throw the Allah Han during
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			the journey of Hegira Nabi
SallAllahu Sallam told him Oh Abu
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:09
			Bakr. Sometimes I see you walking
in front of me. Sometimes you're
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			walking behind me sometimes on the
right sometimes on the left, why?
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			You said you had a Salalah when I
think the danger is coming from
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			the front, a walk in front of you,
when I think the danger is coming
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			from the back and walk behind you.
So there'll be a fella says, Oh,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:26
			aboubaker are you putting yourself
between me and danger? Are you
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			putting your life on the line for
my life? He said, Yeah rasool
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:35
			Allah. If Allah gave me 100 lives
I would sacrifice every one of
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			those lives to preserve your one
life.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			The hero of the hijra, is Abu Bakr
Radi Allahu Allah and
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			when they enter the cave and the
seas that hole
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			I can yay. If we see a snake day
we run day
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			Abubaker the Alon sits on that
hole to protect Nabi SallAllahu
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Sallam from harm. And that snake
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			bites and bites and bites, and he
cements himself. Imagine the
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			physical courage. Imagine the
mental courage. Imagine the
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			emotional strength that you need.
Imagine what love you need to have
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			for Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
Well, I love my wife. I love my
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			children, but I don't know if I
will be able to tolerate repeated
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:25
			snake bites, just to protect them
from harm. He took bite after bite
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:29
			only when his tears started to
flow, the Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			alayhi wa sallam wake up and
realize that Abubaker is being
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:36
			bitten by a venomous snake. But
his intention is to protect a
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			sword allah sallallahu Sallam who
would do that, unless they had
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43
			true and genuine love for
Rasulullah sallallahu. So if you
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			look at that verse, my time is
always almost up. Look at what the
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:51
			verse says. The Quraysh wanted to
kill the enemy of Allah. No right
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			man, no man in his right mind
would accompany there'll be of
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			Allah unless he was willing to
give his life for or within the
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			reach of allah sallallahu sallam.
That alone should tell us about
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			the caliber of Abu Bakr and the
degree of his love for a surah la
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:10
			sala Larissa and the WF Allah was
a man of great intuition. He would
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:15
			never have chosen someone for such
a dangerous journey, unless he was
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:20
			absolutely confident that this is
the man who loves me the most. And
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			this is the man who is the most
loyal to me.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			That's why when somebody saw
Almighty Allah in his time, the
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			Muslims had achieved great
success. They said, Amara, maybe
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:34
			you're better than Obamacare. He
said, What What nonsense are you
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			talking? That one night that Abu
Bakr the Allah and spent in the
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			cave with Nabi SallAllahu sallam,
it is more weighty in the scale of
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			good deeds, that all of the good
actions in the life of Omar and in
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			the progeny of all those who will
come after Amara,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:55
			that one night of love that one
night of loyalty, look at how the
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:01
			Quran speaks about Abubaker 30th
name. He was the second of the
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			two, Imam to be Rahmatullah. He
says that if he was the second of
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			the two, that it means he would be
the successor of Rasulullah
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			sallallahu Sallam because the
second comes after the the first
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:16
			in Houma Phil GOD, ALLAH says,
when the two of them were in the
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:22
			cave, he's the Yarra he's the
companion of the cave. In the holy
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			saw he be
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			the only man to be given the title
of Sahaba in the Quran is Abu Bakr
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			because it's an undeniable fact
that he was in the cave. And Allah
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			says that Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam said to his saw him to his
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:41
			companion, the Quran endorses him
as a Sahabi. And what needs to be
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:47
			said Allah listen him say to him,
LA, Zen, don't grief. Musa Ali
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			Salam was worried only about
himself when the when the stick
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			turned into a snake. So what was
said to Musa Islam Allah the hoof,
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:57
			don't fear. But Abu Bakr the Alon
was not only worried about
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			himself, he was worried more about
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:05
			that's the way it was set to him.
Lotta Hassan don't grieve in Allah
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:11
			ma na Abu Bakr, Allah is with me
and Allah is with you. When Musa
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:14
			Ali Salam spoke to his people,
when the army of Pharaoh were
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			coming, he said, in rugby My My
Allah is with me. Whenever you
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			said Allah, listen, I'm spoke to
Abu Bakr, the ALLAH and he said,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:27
			Allah is with us. Allah is with
us. So the hero of the Hijra was
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:33
			Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Han. This OMA
owes an eternal debt to Abu Bakr
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:37
			Radi Allahu Han. But all the
Sahaba wanted from us in return
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42
			was for us to uphold the commands
of Allah and to uphold the Sierra
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			and the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam, my time is
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			almost up, let me conclude with
this incident. One day,
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			three youngsters or university
graduates, they will on a ship.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			And the sale of the ship was a
simpleton. So the one guy who had
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			a great had a degree in
mathematics, I told him, Hey,
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			Viet gave us this verse kinder. Do
you know what he's met? That man
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:10
			says, No. Says you never studied
maths? Say no. So you've wasted
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:15
			your life now. So the other one
was a graduate in science. So he
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			tells him, do you know what the
science says? No. So you've wasted
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:24
			your life. The other one? He was a
graduate in engineering. He told
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			him Do you know what is
engineering? He said, I don't even
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			know what it is. You've wasted
your life. Then the ship had
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:34
			stormy waters. And he started to
sink. And this man, the sailor was
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			about to jump overboard.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			So these youngsters came to him
and said, Where are you going? He
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			said, I'm going to swim to the
shore. So they looking at him.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			They say, We don't know how to
swim. He said you've wasted your
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			life.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:53
			What's the lesson we learn from
you? To know about every other
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			science and to know about every
other individual is important. But
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			you must have priorities in life.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			It is most important for us to
know sera
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			to know the story of Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam. And I want to
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			end this entire series on this
note.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			I want to end this entire series
on this note, the scholars tell us
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:19
			every Muslim was read one new book
of Syrah every year, because every
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			scholar will bring a different
lesson and a different gem to the
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			for from the life of Rasulullah
sallallahu. We love the Nabil of
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:32
			Allah. I'm not saying it, he said
it. One day he said to Sahaba when
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:37
			will I meet my brothers? When will
I meet my brothers? Sahaba said ye
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:41
			rasool Allah, are we not your
brothers? You said no unto us
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:46
			Hobbie You are my companions, you
know, who am I brothers, those who
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:51
			will come long after me, they will
not see me, but they will have so
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:55
			much of love for me, they will be
willing to sacrifice anything and
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:00
			everything for one opportunity to
just see me or meet me. Those are
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:05
			my brothers, you and I, there is
no one in this whole Masjid who is
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:09
			not willing to sacrifice anything
or everything for one glimpse and
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			one meeting with Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:17
			he acknowledged our love for Him
even before we were born. We have
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			love for Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, and it's something so epic
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			at the time have had somebody had
tweeted and said, Muhammad
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:29
			Sallallahu Sallam passed away 1400
years ago, yet he remains the most
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			visited man on the planet.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:37
			He passed away 1400 years ago, but
he remains the most visited man on
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			the planet. But we need to take
that love. Now to the next level.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			We need to live the life of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. The
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:51
			Syrah is our roadmap as individual
Muslims as a ummah. Collectively,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:56
			we have problems. We have issues,
the solution is in the best of
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:02
			lives. The example is the best of
examples, the legacies, the best
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:07
			of legacy. It cannot adorn our
bookshelves. Start reading Sierra,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			start listening to talks on
Sierra, start studying Sierra,
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:14
			keep studying Sita, tell your last
breath. But most importantly do it
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			with the intention that you can
start living the Sierra that will
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			be the sign of true love. May
Allah grant it to me. May Allah
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:25
			grant it to you. May Allah grant
it to all of us. May Allah grant
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			us true love for Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam May Allah enable
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			us to continue to study the Sierra
and the Sunnah and may Allah and
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			enable us to live our lives in
accordance with the Sierra and
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:38
			Sunnah wa sallahu wa salam ala
Nabina Muhammad Welcome to Dhawan
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
Alameen wa salam alaykum
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
